Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Otto—"Pink Hair, Fox Ears… This Is the One Kallen Mentioned!"



Chapter 33: Otto—"Pink Hair, Fox Ears… This Is the One Kallen Mentioned!"

 『my favorite sister Bronya:』 "Ehhh?! Why?! It's already so late, but big brother, are you really going to make us wait until tomorrow to find out what happens next?!"

 Seele's frustration was evident, and her message even came with multiple exclamation marks.

 It was hard to believe that she had only joined the stream yesterday.

 In just a day, she had gone from shy and reserved to expressing herself freely in the chat.

 As her words lingered on the screen, a graceful pink message soon followed—

 『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Hmm~ I think you're just teasing us for fun, aren't you?"

 Hokuto didn't even need to check—of course, it was Elysia.

 Her words were light and playful, but the hidden meaning was clear:

 "I don't like this. Can you do what I want instead?"

 Subtle, yet undeniably effective.

 And as expected, a third voice soon joined the protest—

 『today's performance wasn't perfect:』 "I don't mean to be pushy, but I'd like a reasonable explanation."

 Hua's neatly typed message appeared.

 As always, she was direct and to the point.

 Hokuto let out a long sigh.

 There are only four viewers in this stream… and now three of them are ganging up on me.

 They're trying to stage a rebellion, huh? Unbelievable!

 And then there was Rita, who—oddly enough—wasn't saying anything.

 Was she just silently watching everything unfold?

 Whatever. Gotta deal with the others first.

 『Hokuto:』 "I know you're all eager, but hold on for a sec."

 『Hokuto:』 "Chapter 4 is way longer than Chapter 3, and it's already late. I worked all day and I'm seriously exhausted, so I can only stream a little longer."

 『my favorite sister Bronya:』 "Oh…"

 『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Ah~ That makes sense. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

 『today's performance wasn't perfect:』 "Apologies. I didn't mean to be inconsiderate. I didn't realize you were already at your limit."

 …Wait.

 Why does that sound so wrong?

 If Hokuto didn't know Hua's personality, he'd think she was insulting him.

 『Hokuto:』 "Ahem! I'm still young, alright? I'm just tired, not at my limit!"

 Moving on, he tapped confirm on the stage clear screen.

 Chapter 3, officially completed.

 As the mission rewards appeared, the system notification popped up—

 [Congratulations! You have reached Level 18!]

 At that moment, a familiar little pink AI mascot appeared on screen.

 [Captain! Captain! You've unlocked Open World Mode! Time for a brand-new adventure, nyah~!]

 『Hokuto:』 "Alright, next up is an open-world side story. After two rounds, I'll unlock exorcism missions."

 『my favorite sister Bronya:』 "Side story? Exorcism missions?"

 『Hokuto:』 "Just think of it as side quests and weekly events."

 『my favorite sister Bronya:』 "Ohh! Side quests! I hope they have fun stories!"

 『Hokuto:』 "Of course! I promise this one will be interesting."

 With that, he selected the new region.

 The screen faded to black as the game loaded the map.

 An eerie sound effect played—

 A deep, resounding chime, like the ringing of a shrine bell.

 A quiet village appeared on screen.

 Its buildings had a distinct Far Eastern aesthetic—wooden houses with stone foundations, paper lanterns glowing under the darkened sky.

 A place that felt both tranquil and mysterious.

 Before anyone could comment—

 [A new viewer has joined the stream.]

 [Welcome, "Your Great Inventor."]

 『my favorite sister Bronya:』 "Welcome!"

 『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Hmm~ This viewer came at an unlucky time. The stream won't last much longer today."

 The new viewer didn't respond.

 Hokuto raised an eyebrow.

 Otto? Silent?

 What, is he trying to act all mysterious?

 Meanwhile, in the real world…

 "You're almost at Sky City, aren't you, Rita?"

 On a Honkai-powered communicator, Otto Apocalypse's face appeared.

 "Yes, my lord. Do you have further orders?"

 "Tell me what you've discovered so far."

 "Understood. However, I must ask—why do you wish to personally oversee the rest of the investigation?"

 "Hmph. That was not a request, Rita. That was an order."

 Otto dismissed her without another word and turned his full attention to the stream.

 Back in the game—

 The shrine bell rang again.

 The darkened village came into view.

 『Your Great Inventor:』 "This village… It's in the Far East?"

 Otto finally broke his silence.

 『Hokuto:』 "Sharp eyes, new viewer. You're correct. This is a Far Eastern village."

 A bad feeling began creeping up Otto's spine.

 And then—

 Onscreen, a pink-haired girl appeared.

 She had fox ears.

 Fox ears.

 Pink hair.

 Otto's expression darkened.

 This was… too familiar.

 This was something Kallen had spoken of before.

 The girl on screen tilted her head slightly.

 [Oh my? Are you a traveler?]

 [My name is… Yae Sakura.]

 Otto's fingers tightened into a fist.

 『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Ah~ What a surprise! It's Sakura!"

 Otto remained silent.

 Yae Sakura…

 Why was she in this game?

 What the hell was going on here?
